lClaim.

This invention relates to a necktie holder and has for the primary object the provision oi.' an eflicientyand inexpensive device of this character which may be comfortably Worn by a person 5 and which will maintain a, necktie in proper position relative, to a collarand will prevent the necktie from slipping or loosening and thereby becoming disarranged.

With these and other objects in view, this in.

10 ventlon consists in certain vnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

` For a complete understanding of my inven- 15 tion, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation illustrating aholder constructed in accordance with the present invention and showing the sameapplied to 2o a collar button of a collar of a shirt.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary'sectional view showing the holder in applied position and supporting a necktie in proper relation to the collar Figure 3 is a perspectivesview illustrating the Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral I indicates a plate in which is formed a alot 2 opening outwardly through one end of the plate and forming a portion ofthe plate with 30 spacedtabs 3 adapted to- 'straddle a shank I ora collar button 5, The collar button ii is shown applied to a collar 8 c! a shirt 1.

Integral with the plate l is a hook-shaped angc 8 located at one end of the plate and 35 overlies the head of the collar button, as shown in Figure 2. Integral with the flange l and ex- 4. tending at substantially right angles thereto is an attaching ear 8 to which issecured a pin Ii.

(ci. eti-asti The plate i when adapted to the collar button, as shown, positions the pin il outwardly and downwardly with-respect to the collar button. the pin projecting outwardly between the iiaps of the collar so that it may be inserted in the 5 lmot portion oi a necktie i2 to prevent the necktie from moving accidentally out of proper k position with respect to the collar, also prevents the necktie from, loosening or slipping conse# quently maintaining the necktie in its proper m position.

Prior to tying the tie, the plate i is placed on' the button with the pin III projecting outwardly between the aps of the collar. The tie is then tied in the usual manner and adjusted 15 properly on the wearer. The knot of the tie is then passed onto the pin il, thereby retaining the tie in proper position and the pin also acting to prevent the tie from slipping or loosening. y

What is claimed is: 20

A necirtie holder, comprising. a pair of spaced legs fashioned together at the upper ends thereci" to constitute a bridge having a folded section extending in parallelism with said legs, said folded section formed at the lower end thereof with a substantially right "angular,` extending shelf, and a pin' having the head section thereof secured in said shelf and the point section exe tending axially therefrom. said legs adapted to be inserted downwardly about the' shank ot a collar button vbetween the head of said button.

and the outer face of a collar band wberebyto position said folded section over the headoi said button to maintain saivzl shelf 'and pin in a position substantially coextensive with said 35 shank for supporting a necktie in adjusted positionen said pin when penetrated thereby.
